CAVING IN NORTH CYPRUS
There are several caves in Northern Cyprus that you are free to explore. One, known as the Hot Cave, North of Agirdag village on the southern slopes of the Five Finger Mountains, is a partially collapsed natural formation. Warm air emanates from the cave, hence the name. Do not attempt to enter the cave.
a northern natural cave in Girne
area is the Cave near Alevkayasi. Access to the cave involves some fairly difficult climbing.
There are three more caves in the Gazi Magusa area in
Northern Cyprus. Probably the most beautiful cave is Incirli Cave, a hundred mete long passage which contains an amazing collection of stalactites and stalagmites. The cave is opened on Sundays (or by special arrangement with the village muhtar). There is a small entrance fee. Gastro Cave between Kuruova and Kaleburnu villages
in North Cyprus is a man made cave containing three rooms. Finally the ominously named Execution Cave, near Kaleburnu. There is set to be a golden earthenware jar hidden somewhere in the cave.
